Hi guys, somewhat technical question but I like detail!!
Just wondering WHY it is that people say for mods i.e. bigger turbos, that they can actually be gentler on the rods because the peak torque is shifted later into the RPM range? It feels counter-intuitive to me, where with everything moving faster, greater torque is safer on the rods vs. when things are moving more slowly. I'm obviously missing something but not sure what? Cheers!
